460rwhp for a 5.0 stock? He didn't read that anywhere. They were underrated but not that much.

Why is this in SR&K? Put this in bench racing until it actually happens.


STOCK 5.0 = WIN4U

Go find one and let us know how that works out for you.

My Car ran even with a 425rwhp Full exhaust, intake, tune 5.0

Your car has more mods.... It should be an easy race for you. Have you ever had it at the track ?

400lbs less? Through all my reading I thought the new 5.0 weighs around the same as a 4th gen f-bod, about 3600lbs

The one I raced was around 3600lbs curb weight.

Brembo brakes + automatic transmission could add some additional weight maybe. Not even close to 400lbs though.

Yea i've been on the track before but its pretty shameful lol. I ran a 14.00. I had just put my MGW in and when i did i used a ws6store short stick and i still had my stock master. I made 3 runs everytime i missed 4th gear. I don't know if it was my nerves because i'd never been to a track or what. It felt like it was locking me out of 4th but i dunno. After that i came straight home and ordered a tick and put the MGW handle back on and I haven't missed 4th but maybe once since then. So i guess whatever it was i fixed and i also had a 2.5 60 foot time it spint all the way through 1st and 2nd the track sucked. and im running sumitomo tires. The highest i trapped was 99. It was more or less coasting across the finish line. Whenever i would miss it i had to fight it back in.

C'mon OP you should no better. lol With your mods your car should be in the 11's at sea level with a good tire. Beyond stock 5.0 range.

Whats up with lying to him about your mods though? Man up and let him know about the cam- it's only gonna make you look like a tool to show up with a loping cam when all he thinks you have is exhaust work done. That's the kind of thing I used to hate about the juvenile Mustang and import crowd: "It's stock except for the exhaust".
As it stands right now the F-body should take it by 2-3 cars to 100..... but a CAI, tune, LT's and exhaust netted mid to low 11's on an 11gt by Evolution Motorsports. I would have to give the edge to the GT if that was the case.

And I agree it's a pretty chicken **** move to lie about mods. But it is what it is. Some have integrity- some don't.

Your car is quite a bit different than his.

If I were you I would take a driver's class before racing anyone. Your insurance company wouldn't like you hitting a $35k+ car.

I agree. Get comfortable with your car first.
Once you get comfortable with it and have some drag radials on it you should take him. Others reading this-bolt on 11 Gts are no joke especially if you are a bolt on car(LS1 F body).

Ive seen many places stating a 4th gen fbody weighs 3400lbs. A loaded 2011 GT is 3780. SO yea 380lbs sorry.

Mine weighed just over 3800 with me an an 1/8th of a tank of gas. Although I'm sure the stroker doesn't help.

3400-3500 sounds right for an LS1 f-body depending on mods etc.

I would prob do a roll race if I were you. And get some new tires.
